I haven't seen a professional player come out of New York in over 20 years since my brother Patrick came out. Blake spent a few years in Harlem, but he moved to Connecticut when he was a kid.

He was also lampooned in the Australian The Paul Hogan Show in which Paul Hogan played "John MacEnhoax" who used a handshake to fling his opponent destroying a tennis court. Deeds and again in 2008 in You Don't Mess with the Zohan. In 2007 McEnroe appeared on the NBC comedy 30 Rock as the host of a game show called "Gold Case" in which he uttered his famous line "You cannot be serious!" when a taping went awry.

McEnroe also won a record eight season ending championships comprising five WCT Finals titles and three Masters Grand Prix titles from twelve final appearances at those two events a record he shares with Ivan Lendl. In 1984 McEnroe recorded the best single season win-loss record in the Open Era at 96. After his tennis career McEnroe became a television commentator a game show host and a chat show host.
